But Albania did exactly this in 1946 by mining secretly the disputed Corfu Channel, and a British squadron steamed directly into this trap. The northern end of the island of Corfu (Kerkira) is separated from the Albanian shore by a very narrow channel only about 2 to 3 kilometres wide, and thus part of this channel falls unavoidably within Albanian territorial waters. Before the second world war this channel was considered to be an international waterway and after the war Britain continued to consider it as' such.
